Up to my ears in plastic

It's hard to imagine, but in the mid-20th century, everyone was wildly enthusiastic about plastic. Now, we're actually looking for ways to minimize our plastic use. How did that come about? "Up to My Ears in Plastic" explores the history of plastic, its pros and cons, our changing relationship with the material, and whether we can even dream of a plastic-free world. Perfect for all young do-gooders and for Children's Book Week 2022. Plastics expert Daniël Poolen enthusiastically tells young readers about our long, intense, and sometimes contradictory relationship with plastic. In this book, he offers an original perspective on this remarkable material, with stories brought to life by Merel Corduwener's powerful illustrations.
